With summer now upon us, or so they tell me, it’s time to get some usage out of the garden and utilise every single solitary ray of sunshine we get to the fullest effect and who knows, maybe the weather gods will smile kindly on us this year and grant us a warm and dry summer. Come rain or shine though, you’ve got to make the most of your garden it if it's there. One of the time honoured classics of a British summer garden party is the barbeque. It might sit in the garage or sit out despondently in the cold at the bottom of the garden during the harsh winter months but come summertime it retakes pride of place on the patio once more. For many people it is the cooking method of choice for a summer garden party, with honours and bragging rights going to the chef, and the guest being served up delicious homemade fare. With a little extra preparation time you can create some truly heavenly homemade burgers which will certainly go down a treat. One of the brilliant things about barbeques is how versatile and diverse they are. From homemade DIY barbeques constructed with bricks and mortar to the ubiquitous metal drums and beyond into the realms of high-tech gas powered models. Many happy memories will be created cooking over the fire, surrounded by friends, beers in hand, reminiscing about how crazy the old days were. Barbeques are synonymous with good times and you know when somebody invites you to a barbeque you will be certain to have fun. They are a return to older ways and there is something very primal and satisfying about cooking meat over an open fire. To keep the young ones happy while you stand and reminisce, make sure there are some outdoor toys to hand for the little ones to play with. British garden regulars such as sandpits and playhouses are guaranteed to keep your kids happy for hours. Another time honoured classic and seasoned regular of the British summer is the paddling pool and if the weather is right they are absolutely perfect for keeping the kids entertained while you entertain the adults with your culinary prowess and wit. All in all it is important to get as much use out of your garden as possible. No matter how much space you have, you will always be able to have a few friends over and make the most of your outdoor space. Spoil yourself this summer and make the most of your garden by investing in barbecues and outdoor toys.
